Rebuilding
By Nick Baxter - Nick Baxter
In 2009-2010 I completed a series of paintings called Rebuilding, featuring subject matter of bloody diamonds, puzzle pieces and other surreal macro effects, and recently fulfilled a request from a passionate tattoo collector for a 3/4 sleeve of imagery from those paintings. I made some minor changes to adapt the paintings to the skin medium, but still had a chance to experiment with some painting effects in a fun way. You can see the results of this in the detail image, which shows from left to right: colored shadow reflections, subtle surface glare, and Bokeh highlight blur. Thanks again to my client Chuck!

Three days of becoming a better artists, tattooers, and people! The Rock River Tattoo Art Expo will combine aspects of artist-focused professional development events with the style of a larger tattoo convention, open to the public. The two convention floors will be filled with artist and vendor booths, with the artists showcasing not only tattooing but work in other mediums as well. Some booths will feature live painting alongside the tattoo booths. There will be additional vendor booths in some of the hallways and auxiliary spaces along with a museum exhibit showcasing some important tattoo artifacts including some of local significance. Throughout the weekend there will be activity on the main stage including interviews, talks by high-profile speakers, a historical discussion, tattoo art critiques, and a daily showcase of work that was completed on the convention floor.
